Jim,
I just wanted to take the opportunity to thank you and say what an excellent job I think you've done!!! You've really put a lot of thought and hard work into the aquarium and I am totally enjoying mine. I look forward to the upgrade.

Thanks again for your time, energy and zest!!!

Aloha,
Gerty

Jim, when you started working on the aquarium you used to add two or three fish every few weeks. Do you plan on doing any more "normal" fish in the near\not so near future? Will they be in the additional packs or for free?

The way fish avoid each other is almost completely rewritten.

Yes, it was a matter of rewriting the collision avoidance code, watching the Aquarium for an hour until I saw a collision or other strangeness, rewriting, watching, rewriting, watching, over and over again 20 hours a day for 4 weeks. It's still not absolutely foolproof, but good enough to last until I can finish the 3D background, at which time it all gets replaced again.

How come no body has posted a tread in here about Version 1.1's release in here yet, like a couple of the other treads have?? Could this really be true?

Jim, you might just lose a few fans from everyone have a heart attack if this happen. I know I might have one.

I sure hope this is true, I cant wait to have the lion fish.
Keep up all the great work and dont forget about us fans of the turtle idea.

Thanks for creating such a piece of art for all of us to enjoy.

If the announcement is already in another thread, there's no reason to have it here too.

We'll rename this thread to *** 1.1 Old News *** before the announcement is made and create a new 1.1 Announcement topic.

Not everyone is going to get the e-mail on Wednesday. SereneScreen.com simply cannot handle 75,000 people downloading a 1 meg file on the same day. I know people are offering mirroring ability to Prolific. Hopefully they will take it.

I am interfacing with Prolific to see what they want me to do with my list of 3,500 people who have signed up at my website.

In the "Pending release of 1.1" thread tatroyer had a good suggestion of posting a link a day early so those of us here could get it early. That would give Prolific an early test and relieve some of the first day's traffic.

Sounds like a good solution to me.

Hi, Bob -
Prolific wanted a whole day (Tuesday) after the 3-day weekend to get all of the people and resources positioned for a Wednesday roll-out. I was hoping for yesterday, because I can't really relax on my mini-vacation will all the negative vibes from anxious customers, but it's not my call. Oh, well, I'm scheduled for another day off in April.

no negative vibes here

No, no, Jim. Does Santa feel "negative vibes" from the kids on Xmas eve just because they can hardly wait till morning to open their presents? Instead enjoy a warm glow and have a good vacation.
